Lofven Wins Sweden's General Election

Sweden's center-left Social Democrat leader Stefan Lofven emerges as victor in Sunday's general election. This comes after voter backlash against tax cuts and trimmed welfare by a center-right government. But he fell short of a parliamentary majority. The Nordic region's biggest economy now faces a weak minority government with a possible political impasse as the anti-immigrant far right emerged as the third biggest party to hold the balance of power.
